Battery
The Khepera IV LRF has an integrated battery to avoid additional drain on the Khepera's battery, keeping the autonomy of the robot at the same level as usual. The Li-Po Battery of the LRF turret has a 950mAh capacity under 7.4V to ensure autonomy up to 2 hours. This battery doesn’t replace the Khepera IV robot battery; you must plug a charged battery into the robot to use the robot and the LRF.
Programming
A library including all the available functions is provided with the libkorebot version 1.17 or greater.
